[Intro]
| G Am | F C |
| G Am | F C |
[Verse 1]
G Am F C I met a man going to Omaha
G Am F CHe told me some stories 'bout his son-in-law
G Am F CHe spoke just like your parents in a western drawl
G Am F CIf you could even call it that
G Am F C I told him how we'd hit the Iowa state fair
G Am F C I felt a little like an alien out there
G Am F C It's crazy how much he resembled ya
G Am F CGuess that's the comfort of middle America
[Chorus]
G Am F C And I know you're away and out achieving something
G Am F C Found your own saving grace and she's cute as a button
G Am F C And I'm still a basket case but that's the life that I picked
G Am F C You're not the one that got away, you're just the only "What if?"
[Post-Chorus]
G Am F C(la la, la la, la la la)
G Am F C(la la, la la, la la la)
[Verse 2]
G Am F C He gave a smile as he waved goodbye
G Am F CI've seen that same expression 'bout a million times
G Am F C"Godspeed" he said to me with understanding eyes
G Am F CI never got to know his name
G Am F C I watched him as he turned to walk away
G Am F CI thought about you all the way to baggage claim
G Am F CYou can't ask fire to stick around in pouring rain
G Am F CGuess that's either a blessing or an awful shame
[Chorus]
G Am F C And I know you're away and out achieving something
G Am F C Found your own saving grace and she's cute as a button
G Am F C And I'm still a basket case but that's the life that I picked
G Am F C You're not the one that got away, you're just the only "What if?"
[Post-Chorus]
G Am F C(la la, la la, la la la)
G Am F C(la la, la la, la la la)
[Bridge]
Em F Baby it was alright for just a little bit
Am D7 Romeo spinnin' lies to hand to Juliet
F C You had a blueprint for life, I had a bucket list
D7 Am/E F FmAnd I didn't fit, so I just made the best of it
[Chorus]
G Am F C And I know you're away and out achieving something
G Am F C Found your own saving grace and she's cute as a button
G Am F C Aren't you glad I gave my place to someone worthy of it?
G Am F C You're not the one that got away, you're just the only "What if?"
[Outro]
G Am F C(la la, la la, la la la)
G Am F C(la la, la la, la la la)
G Am F C(la la, la la, la la la)
G Am F C(la la, la la, la la la)
